of Columbia College, said tonight that the
total eclipse Of the sun to-day was visible
throughout belt OF territory about
one hundred and fifty miles wide, extend
ing from Berlin east across to Russia, ST.
beria and Japan, and well out into the Pa
cific Ocean. Observers were stationed all
along this line. England, France, Russia,
Germany and Spain all sent delegations.
Prof. Q. A. Young, of Princeton, with
his assistant Mr. McNeal, was stationed
near Moscow, and Prof. d. P. Todd,
of Amherst went to Japan to observe
the eclipse from point near Jeddo.
The duration of totality was about three
and half minutes, and in this brief time
Prof Young meant tonote the appearance
and extent of the corona, make spectre
scopic observations of the protuberances,
take photographs and perhaps search for
the inter-mercurial planet or planets that
have been seen or imagined during former
eclipses

WAsHiSGToS, Aug. aL-Harry T. Cook,
aged twenty-onc and Charles T. Cook, his
brother, some years younger, were arrested
here this Afternoon the elder for forgery
aud the younger for collusion. Their
plan Of operations was novel aud In

they might easily have avoided, they
could have gone ON indefinitely in their
course. Harry was the discount clerk in
the Columbia National Bank, whore, OF
course, he had access 70 the signatures
and accounts OF the banks patrons. 1t
has bcen shown By investigation that he
some time ago disguised himself, and un.
der an assumed name, opened an account
In another bank. He.then forged the name
OF one oftho Columbia Banks dcposi,ors
TO series Of checks payable to himself
undor his assumed name and got his
younger brother TO deposit them TO his &C
count The checks, after they had been
returned 10 the Columbia Bank for collec-
tion, and after they had been paid ana Gu
tered in the books, were secured by the
torger and destroyed The culprits are
the sons OF the late Prof Cook, Of this city
The name forged 20 the check is that OF
John r. Mclean. The amount secured

gave chase after the criminal. He was q
good runner, and directing his steps to-

WASHINGTON, Aug 17.-The Washington
and Baltimore express, which left Cincin.
natl yesterday morning at 8:47, and which
was due here at go this morning, was,
with the exception OF the sleeper, COM
pletely wrecked within the city limits and
about half mile from the Washington
depot. AT Grafton Chicago sleeper was
taken on the train. Both sleepers
remained on the track, and none of
the occupants was seriously hurt.
The rest OF the train, consisting Of post
al, express, baggage, smoker and two day
coaches, went off the track and were
thoroughly wrecked. There were about
fifty passengers on the train. OF these,
eighteen were disabled, the engineer so
scalded that he died in short time, while
the fireman and two or three other train
hands were badly bruised. Most OF the in
jured were taken 10 Providence Hospital.
The Baltimore road from the west enters
the city ON First street, East, which is the
street that, prolonged, passes in front of
the Capitol. About half way between the
bo ndary and the depot near the Capitol,
a "Yn connects tho western track with the
main line from Baltimore. The western
trains run by way of the ''Y" to the Balti-
more track and thence back down to the
depot. The "Y" is a very sharp curve
turning the direction of the train at right
angles within about one hundred Yards
The limit Of safety on such curve is
said BY railroad men to be ten miles. This
